2009-09-18 Committee on the Status of Women Minutes

Home

B.Budget N. Kelly reported that the Mayor had a budget kick-off meeting and he instructed departments to cut their budget as much as possible because they are expecting a $44 million reduction from the current fiscal year. She circulated a budget worksheet for fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011 with a 50 percent cut to help the county and to show the Mayor that CSW is conscientious and the committee doesn’t want to be eliminated. K. Nova suggested that the Executive Committee meet and come up with recommendations for approval by CSW at the next meeting. Some ideas were to do CSW’s main events every other year, put a cap on what the committee spends on lunches, carpool, not printing the Urgent Services Directory, and CSW members meet every other month. J. Viernes said that the committee needs to update the final status report on program objectives for FY 2008-09, update the program budget for FY 2010-11, and complete the expenditures worksheet for FY 2010-11 and project estimates for the two-year period after that. After some discussion, CSW members agreed to meet in the months of July, August, October, December, February, April, and June. K. Nova said that CSW members need to work independently and members who sign up for events should not flake out. D. Pung moved that CSW schedule their meetings effective fiscal year July 2010 for July, August, October, December, February, April, and June. A. Mejia seconded the motion. K. Nova suggested that N. Kelly prepare new figures based on seven meetings, not printing the Urgent Services Directory, and cost of mileage for rotating monthly meetings versus meeting only in Waimea. The motion was passed. CSW reviewed and revised the program objectives for FY 2010-11.
